Technology
Subject-specific software: A-Plus software.
Description
Students will complete teacher created questions on the unit learned throughout the week about stereotyping, prejudice, racism, discrimination, and the historical limitations on participation of women in U.S. society and their efforts to gain equal rights. The question will be created using A-Plus software and will give the students an opportunity to test their knowledge. The program not only provides students with much needed quick direct feedback, but it also transfers the information to the teacher's account so they can see how the students are doing individually and as a whole class.
